The track in which my train traveled through has been the way before the toll road. The train track was build by the Dutch Colonial Government back in 1896-1899. Over a century later in the year 2000, the toll road Jakarta-Serpong was built, parallel to the railway track.

The pedestrian crossing bridge was built together with the toll road, to facilitate locals who live nearby to cross the toll road. Locals going to the other side of the road to take care some stuff. It will be impossibly dangerous to cross the toll road, hence the purpose of the bridge. But then, after crossing the toll road using the bridge, people still need to take risk to cross the railway, just like before the toll road.

So, why the pedestrian crossing bridge stops after the toll road. Why don’t it continue to cross and terminate after the railway track? Maybe, because the pedestrian crossing bridge was developed as part of the contract to build the toll road. There are no budget to built the pedestrian crossing bridge over the railway track. Or, the budget has been proposed, but rejected by authority. Or maybe, the railway company gave too much reasons that make the development impossible.
